The wildlife in the south of France is unique and, at times, curious: in Provence, Etruscan shrews – the world’s smallest mammals – travel in a caravan through the lavender fields. In Albi, a species of fish uses a spectacular method to come ashore and hunt birds. Near the Pont du Gard lives Europe’s largest beaver population – without a single beaver lodge. In the Pyrenees, clever ravens outwit mighty vultures, and a young flamingo in the Camargue is honing its courtship skills.
